Hello Readers,
Hope you all are doing good, thank you once again for coming back to read my post.
What is success?
How does it feel to be successful/famous or rich?
How does It feel like to be one of the best?
Disclaimer: This is not a place, where you will make millions in one day, as many of the blogs claims. I am just sharing my thoughts and feelings that I have towards success.
Every people have different perceptions of success, different opinions of being rich and famous.
Some are happy people earning hundreds of dollars, whereas some of us are making millions and are still unhappy.
Some people are happy and consider them successful if they are having a happy and healthy family.
Some are happy with their honest and ethical lifestyle. These are just some of the examples of the perceptions we all have.
Even I have a different perception of success, I think success means if we are happy doing what we do in daily life, we are fuckin successful. Even if we have loads of money and secure financial backup or a happy family, then also many people are unable to do whatever they want, so this brings down to a point, are we happy?
One of the famous quotes by Bob Dylan:
“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”
Many of us keep our steps back, thinking about the amount of frustration and the amount of humiliation we will have to face if we fail in our dreams. I would tell all of you, please try to follow your dreams as much as possible.
Do not think about success so much that it takes you near to the failure. Even many of my friends didn’t support this idea of writing blogs and they came up with various alternatives and stupid fuck ideas, but I chose this one, following my heart and passion.
You will have to be an asshole sometimes, you may have to upset the people whom you love the most. When you set an ambitious goal, people around you will try to get you in the small box that they are in right now. You should be ready to deal with the negativity of the people.
You will also have to be ready to come out of your small box and the comfort zone that you have created for yourself. Most importantly, you should be ready to change yourself, if required.
I know reading my 5-10 minutes blog won’t change your complete perception or getting to inspire you so much that you start following the way your heart wants towards your passion.
Another famous quote by Robert Kiyosaki:
“Don’t let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning.”
All our dreams are shattered by our own fear, which we are not able to overcome. Most of us are not working on the idea that we had because of the losses that we might have to suffer, if we go ahead and pursue the dream, we have.
Some of us are not pursuing the dream for the fear of the society and some of us are just holding ourselves back because of the current situation that we are stuck in and waiting for the right time.
Google is the only one to know all our dreams, and thoughts because of the research that we did, and kept it only within google. Remember the fact, you will never get the perfect time to start your plan nor you will a ready path for the success. You will have to invest your time and everything that you must reach the place you want and desire.
A famous quote by Steve Jobs:
“If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.”
We often get jealous (anxious, apprehensive, attentive, envious, possessive, protective, suspicious you can google some more words that you might think will be enough to hide that from the world). It’s a known fact, that we humans tend to get jealous very often when someone around us succeeds. We also get inspired sometimes.
Please keep in mind, it takes years of hard work and hundreds of sacrifices to become successful, like truly successful, there is no shortcut or workaround for the same. This is the right time to start what you have been thinking to start and complete the same. Whatever looks like a shortcut to success, there is something hidden behind it, do not fall for any such trap or have illusion.
Saying this I will be ending my post here.

Thank you for sharing your perspective! I love that quote by Kiyosaki. Very inspirational!
true ?
Success for me is hearing my child laugh or exclaiming that they got an A on a test
true :)
Money is nice but it isn’t a measure of success. I think the world would be a much better place if everyone followed their dream
True :)
I’m really grateful that I’ve read your article today. I am always scared of failure and that’s what holds me back from starting any thing. Thank you so much for reminding us that behind every successful person there is a story of struggle and dedication ?
Go for it buddy. just go for it.
I liked the fact that you said that success is different for every person. I believe that that is incredibly true, especially in different cultures. I also really enjoyed your quotes.
Thank you for your kind words.
Very informative post :)
Sharing the post, Keep it up buddy.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Like everyone else, I too have dreams of becoming successful. I hope to be successful and be appreciated for my writing skills.

Sure buddy, Sooner or later.
People do notice good work :)
Great post.. success is about being happy and satisfied in your life. Money can only provide us with temporary happiness not real long lasting memories.
True :)
I’m not successful yet, but I’m certainly getting there ?
Of course, and all the very best :)
Love this! I love the Bon Dylan quote!
Being successful is different for everyone. I think doing what makes you happy is key. Great post!
Thank you so much for your kind words ?
I agree with many people above. Money is nice but it isn’t a measure of success.
true :)
Well with me is a bit different If I succeed and one of my friends doesn’t I feel terrible, and yet when they succeed and I don’t, I fell happy because I know they worked for it, I try to get out of my comfort zone more, especially in this final week of the year, I have started doing things I never thought I could, and I am not doing it for money, I am doing it for myself, because in the end if I am happy with what I achieved and accomplished that is all that matters.
well, this is another point of view of seeing success.. and I totally understand the fact.
You summed up the post really well there are no workarounds or shortcuts. Its the daily grind that makes you achieve your target, Great post.
Thank you so much for the kind words
I agree…..success is relative…..it really depends on how you see it…..and it’s nice you see it in many wide angle…..and yes that made me laugh that Google knows our deepest desire to suceed….
Very happy for you! Glad to see you are doing so well and are very happy :)
Thank you so much :)
Success means different things to different people and at the end of the day, what matters is that you are happy with your version of success. No one can do that for us.
can’t agree more :)
A good read but what made me smile is the way you described yourself – IT professional and Music fanatic. Amateur creator. Hardcore thinker. Food nerd. Incurable travel fanatic. I am in my late 30’s, also a music fanatic and amateur creator. Super hardcore thinker and 100% foodie and with an incurable travel disease, yes the itch is real! Thanks for sharing this post, I would want to be successful someday.
